Enough is Enough

Wow, I have to say that I'm feeling a bit as though I've somehow left reality and entered a scary B movie filled with people that are cloaked like Christians, but yoked like Beelzebub. While I am a strong believer in God, I tend to be distrusting with many folks whom call themselves "Christian" or act out or act upon because of their so called "Christian" Values. I'm not pointing my finger to anyone in particular. I believe if you have a true and good heart, ultimately it will all be revealed to you. I realize that sometimes we just "think" we're right in our opinions only to realize later on that we were very very wrong. And in saying so, only a true Christian would be so inclined as to stand up and take ownership in their wrongness.

Unfortunately some of my experiences with people that called themselves a Christian haven't been very good ones. As a matter of fact thinking of some of the things that happened it makes me want to cry. As a child I brought my best friend to church. I wanted to introduce her to God. We were just children and children will be children. We were running through the hall, giggling as children often do when all of a sudden this woman came from out of nowhere! She had very long fingernails and she grabbed my friends little arm very hard and dug her long nails into her skin to the point that blood came out. Needless to say, she cried and never ever went back to church with me again.

An Elder at the church condemned a woman that was a member of the church; merely because she was going through a divorce. They didn't bother to ask her if the man was a retch and cheating on her. Did God really give that Elder so much authority? Or did he bestow that position upon himself?

Which brings me to my point. I can not for the life of me understand how a person or persons could take something as simple as blogging and turn it into the nightmare of the century for a family. What kind of a person, let alone a self proclaimed Christian person would even think of being such a deviant as to become a detective, seek out a fellow blogger's true identity, cherry pick words that "seem" damning (oh shoot, did I just use that word?) but weren't written to be ingested in the context in which the self appointed judge submitted them. And then the pièce de résistance; contact his employer and accuse him of being "unchristian". Who would have EVER thought the ignorance would transfer from the self appointed judge to the head master of the mans job to the point that he loses his job? Huh???? This IS the 21st Century isn't it????? I mean....for heaven's sake they are taking God out of our schools and fighting to take GOD off our money. And they make us remove memorials in front of court houses merely because it mentions GOD. And this man or should I say family loses their job and possibly everything including having to move far away from their Grand children because of a few words formed on a computer on his own time????? I've read that it's even worse than just the aforementioned but that he and his wife are both battling horrible illnesses. And people such as, well I won't even mention your name. I'm sure you'll figure it out. For me reading your tainted and insincere words quite frankly really made me angry. You compare yourself and your life to this man's life? What a crock! This is the sickest, most disturbing thing I've heard in a long time. For someone to actually have the fortitude to seek out and destroy another persons life simply for a freaking blog!!!! WHAT?????? And some people look at it so lightly? How dare you look at it so lightly. How uncaring and obtuse of you. I'm never one to arm myself and seek out someone whose hurt me. I believe that is God's job. As for the purpetrators and bringers of bad tidings upon this mans entire family; it is now up to God to deal with you. It would really be nice if some of you would stop being so rude and uncaring. Such is the type of so called Christian that drives souls away and I believe when you drive a soul away, you then become responsible for that soul. Do me a favor and swallow any of your nasty finger pointing words toward Mr. Linville. It seems to me that he's had enough and has demonstrated a far superior Christian attitude than I've seen....well.....ever in this life.
Time to move on....I just needed to say my peace. I pray for health and prosperity for the Linville family and justice where justice is deserved.

Shalom. I was sincere.

Thank you for stating what so many of us feel. This was such a despicable thing to do. How could anyone hurt a family in this manner? I have always been leery of someone who is constantly telling us what a good christian they are--beware! I believe if you are a true christian the way you lead your life will show it--you do not have to broadcast it. The sad thing is that this evil being is still blogging and spewing that venom. A cancer by any other name is still a cancer. I would like to be there when this self-righteous excuse for a human being faces their maker.

OKAY, Who is still blogging that you are accusing?
I have never said I am a good Christian. Truth be known I try, I am lousy at it. I hope in my life time that God will help transform me to the image of Him when my life is over. It's a good life.

I think we are all lousy Christians, we are trying to be like Christ. We don't intend on being lousy, we are and we go through things that make us more like Him in this lifetime.

Before we condemn I think we should know for sure and then look at our own sins. Then our outlook is different.

MYTMITE I think we are going to be good friends.Smiling

Soulshadow- Shalom. You and your family are in our prayers.

Sorry to disappoint you and risk sounding unchristianlike but I do not think you and I will ever be friends. My friends are treasures I hold dearly. We are always there for each other. I know my friends will never judge me, never turn on me and will always be there if I need them. They know the same about me. I have many good friends and many good acquaintances. I have to honestly say you will never be in either category.

Well, sorry MYTMITE, I am going to turn the other cheek and say you are my friend.

Hey, if your a better Christian than me as you stated earlier you would know that.

I am glad I chose you as a friend along with the other tag alongs.

"MYTMITE I think we are going to be good friends."

That is too creepy.

Your my friend also. You might not say I'm your friend. Your my friend.

How the real estate market? I have a friend that's the number one person for his company in his company. If things are hard for you I could get you in touch with him. He is a honest guy though.

"How the real estate market?"

Actually, I am off to Atlanta today for a closing on a house for a buyer client. No need to call your "friend" but thanks for the offer. One thing about this slow real estate market is that it weeds out the agents who are not in the industry for the long haul, so when the market rebounds, hopefully next year, there will be less competition for the remaining agents. Survival of the fittest really, like Evolution (do you know what that is??).

Gots to go now.

(p.s. stop being so creepy - it's weird)

I was concerned you have been on here alot lately. My friend does not have time. He's selling houses even during this time.

Since, you have to go I guess you won't be on except Carbon etc.
No, your my friend. You can say what you want, I say your my friend.

Have a nice day. At least now you can make some money. Wow, it's been hard all summer on here.

At least you make me laugh because what you say is so silly.

Have a nice day.

I have to go to have lunch with two of my many friends. Later.
Have a nice day.

Was fowl on the menu by any chance?

Believe me there is nothing anyone on the site can do to hurt me, short of physical harm. They cannot touch my employment, my family, or anything of that sort. And I do believe I could even handle myself against them physically. Bullies thrive in the dark. I know these posts are beginning to sound like the ones sent to muddle before the stuff hit the fan. But there is no college to inquire about for a friend in my case. And, then too, I am not as kind to some people as muddle seemed to be. I just detest the fact that these sorts always hide behind religion. This is what makes so many people turn again religion when they hear the pap thrown out by some of these 'do gooders', who do more harm than anything else. As I have said before, would sure like to be there when they meet their Maker and answer for what they have done.

The BPR/Lily/Patches of the world are the sort that will poison your dog and convince themselves they are doing the Lord's work.

I must be missing something or might be getting an Alzheimer outburst. I don't quite understand what has happened here. Is old pops Muddle the ine sacked from his job? Is the weasel a.k.a. "Ppatches" to blame?

Just a few days away from Blogland and I miss all the action. If Patches is the snitch, I'll pay a visit to him and extract some blood from him. Please advise.
